Chapter 751 Guo Jia is in Jizhou
Nanpi is one of the two first-class cities in Jizhou, the other is the newly promoted Julu, and as for Yecheng, it is Jucheng.
Although Guo Jia was also very curious about the Yellow Turban Thief, Guo Jia did not dare to go to Julu City, for fear of being robbed. Guo Jia first went to Yecheng, stayed for two or three days, browsed the scenery and historical sites of Yecheng, and then went north to Nanpi, which would be an important stop for Guo Jia.
Guo Jia had already met Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Liu Dai, and Han Fu before, and of course he went to meet Yuan Shao, the famous princes.
The city of Nanpi is naturally full of traffic, especially the business trips, which are definitely much more than the giant cities like Yecheng, and there are almost endless freight carriages on the road.
Another feature is that there are many Yi Ren. Because it is close to the front line bordering the Yellow Turban Army, it exists as a character like the logistics base. Many Yi Ren will regard Nanpi as an important place, and Nanpi's player guilds are even more numerous.
However, the shops on the street, especially large shops, are all the territory of indigenous families and chambers of commerce. Guo Jia can see from this point of view what power is the dominant force of this city.
Xi Zhicai once said that Yuan Shao's administration was kuan. Guo Jia walked along the way, but he did not come with a post-street carriage, but followed a caravan. So along the way, Guo Jia saw and heard a lot.
Yuan Shao's lenientness is not about the people, but about the aristocratic race. As the spokesperson of the aristocratic race, Yuan Shao naturally adhered to the view of the theory of the elite rule of the aristocratic country. From top to bottom, on the territory under Yuan Shao, he maintained a very complete clan system. In the grassroots villages, it was a natural gathering place with clan units, and then formed an inherent clan law management, and then layer by layer to become towns and counties, and then spread all the way up to form an upper-level ruling structure.
To be honest, this ruling structure is very strict. From the top to bottom, this patriarchal system effectively guarantees administrative efficiency. Of course, this efficiency must be selective. Therefore, Yuan Shao’s so-called lenient means not interfering with or disrupting this system, so there is a saying of lenientity.
However, from the bottom up, this patriarchal system has two disadvantages. One is that the growth environment of young people in the clan is unfair, and the other is that they exploit foreign personnel too much. Especially in the current situation of increasing population mobility, xenophobia will lead to the permanent lack of fresh blood in Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.
As a civilian, Guo Jia knew very well what the consequences would be caused by this lack of fair environment and excessive exploitation. As a wise man who reads through ancient and modern history, Guo Jia knew even more about what the lack of fresh blood represents. The former blocked the normal alternation of the old and the new, hindered the self-regulation ability of the political system, and the latter represented self-sustaining and unwilling to make progress.
No matter from any aspect, Guo Jia did not see from the facts in front of him that there was anything worth looking forward to in Yuan Shao's future. Unless Yuan Shao could completely change his "leniency" approach, clear the way for talent promotion, eliminate serious social injustice, and break the shackles of the patriarchal system, otherwise, Yuan Shao would have no future at all.
If only the Yellow Turbans in the Han Dynasty were in chaos, Yuan Shao might have succeeded, but now the Han Dynasty has broken through the country and the princes have emerged. Because conservatives have died, and those who are enterprising have prospered, this is an unchangeable fact. As a top strategist, if you can't even see this, you are not worthy of being called a top strategist.
Sitting in a restaurant in an alley, Guo Jia slowly savored the wine. This is a restaurant run by an alien. It is not large in scale, but the wine is very special. Moreover, the side dishes here are very distinctive and make people feel aftertaste. Guo Jia was also brought here by a coachman, and he fell in love with it once.
Like Guo Jia, there are many strange people who like this place. This restaurant does not have a private room. Everyone is a plate of dishes and beans, and then they brag and spank at the wine, which is very lively.
Guo Jia also likes to listen to adventure stories of strange people, and sometimes even envy these carefree and casual lives of strange people.
There are two hot things in the hotel today. The first thing is that Lu Bu's skillful skills are Chenliu, which is definitely something that foreigners talk about. The key is that Lu Bu's popularity is so high among the strangers. And if Lu Bu can take Chenliu County without a single soldier, it will naturally surprise and curious for foreigners.
In Guo Jia's opinion, it was too late to find out that Lu Bu has only now, and this is probably not something Lu Bu discovered himself. Such a simple method should be seen by any planner. From the beginning, Zhang Miao led the wolf into the house, but Zhang Miao's initiative to ask for it was very interesting. Maybe Lu Bu took Chenliu and Zhang Miao took Bingzhou in the future!
As for who gave Lu Bu an idea, Guo Jia immediately guessed that Pang Yuan, who was unknown. It was because Pang Yuan was unknown that he had suddenly become Chen Liu's second-in-command. If he had not made great contributions, how could this be the case? However, Guo Jia would not participate in the discussion of the strange people. He just smiled silently and listened to the strange people's arguments about this. He was drunk and hot. Finally, he went to the fighting arena to prove who was right with his fists. Guo Jia smiled.
As for the second thing that is being hotly discussed, it is that foreign races participated in the Yiren Guild. Guo Jia actually didn’t understand the relationship between foreign races and Yiren. In Guo Jia’s opinion, Yiren should be a foreign race, so who are the foreign races of Yiren? What are these foreign races participating in the Yiren Guild?
Also, what Guo Jia is more interested in is why Fang Zhiwen took the initiative to get involved in the fight between Yiren?
In Guo Jia's mind, Fang Zhiwen is definitely a person worthy of careful study. Guo Jia has indeed carefully studied Fang Zhiwen's past glorious history. Although Guo Jia does not know many of the details, as long as the actual consequences formed later, the context of the development of things can be reversed one by one.
Then Guo Jia was surprised to find that this Fang Zhiwen was really a not simple person. Every time, Fang Zhiwen accurately grasped the key to the matter and then directed the matter to the side that he favored.
When facing the Hu tribe, Fang Zhiwen introduced a large number of Yi Ren's forces. On the one hand, he quickly wiped out Wuhuan and absorbed Wuhuan's population into his own population. On the other hand, he used Yi Ren's forces to compete with Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu, establishing the status of Youzhou giant in one fell swoop.
Then Fang Zhiwen conquered the north and plundered the south, constantly expanding his population, instead of blindly pursuing territory, and repeatedly took the opportunity to make profits in the chaos of Jizhou, Qingzhou, and even the Central Plains, and finally became the de facto overlord of Youzhou.
Fang Zhiwen has strong strength, but will not blindly expand the territory, but develop steadily step by step, giving people the feeling that he is a little unintentional. However, if you carefully calculate Fang Zhiwen's comprehensive strength, you will find how strong Fang Zhiwen's enterprising spirit is.
It was such a shrewd Youzhou border general who suddenly got involved in the conflict between the strangers in Qingzhou, which seemed very strange. Although Fang Zhiwen was under the banner of helping his ally Kong Rong, Guo Jia could naturally see that Fang Zhiwen's purpose was to attack the Feilong Society. What's even more strange is that Fang Zhiwen stopped when he occupied Ye County and destroyed nearly half of the Feilong Society's strength. It seemed that he was sitting in the mountains and watching the tiger fight, which made the situation even more strange.
The so-called abnormality will lead to evil, and things that can make Guo Jia confused will naturally arouse Guo Jia's great curiosity.
"The Feilong Club must be dominated by foreign capital, and everyone will soon see this evidence!"
"What proof?"
"Of course, it is the regulation on the disclosure of the identity of foreign endorsement. Any foreign endorsement must disclose the source of capital they accept. This is for national security considerations and will definitely be introduced soon."
"Actually, it's a bit of a big fuss. Didn't the country also call for attracting foreign capital in terms of economy? Why can't it work in the game?"
"I didn't say it was not possible, I just wanted to disclose my identity together, which is normal."
"Well, even so, judging from the behavior of the Feilong Society, first of all, there is nothing to criticize for the Feilong Society to develop itself. Later, Feilong Society took the initiative to apply for Kong Rong but was not accepted, but from the original intention of the Feilong Society, it did not do anything that the Tianji was angry or resentful. Even if they wanted to make profits in the game, this was not normal! Why do they have to target the Feilong Society? Moreover, you see, Fang Zhiwen is stationed in Ye County and is obviously going to sit in the mountains to watch the tiger fight. This is clearly a way to take advantage of Yiren fighting, but Yiren is not united and still fights, not all of them are cheaper than the Aboriginal people!"
"Bah, you traitor! I've long seen that you are not a thing. Even if you are cheaper indigenous people, I'm not cheaper in foreign races. How much benefit will you take your foreign godfather? You dare to risk your life to talk to them. You have the aspiration to duel outside the city. I'll whitewash you traitor!"
"Why are you scolding me? You can't just get angry, dead feces!"
"Damn! You have the ability to leave the city!"
"Come on, can't you tell that he is a life profession? I'm not welcomed you in this shop, please!"
"Tsk, I don't want to stay among a bunch of feces, it's so stinking!"
"Get out! Dead traitor!"
"Get out! Don't let me know who you are, otherwise you will be stolen."
Amid the laughter of the crowd, the guy called a dog traitor left in shame. Guo Jia couldn't help but look at the group of people who had always been regarded as foreigners. The word "traitor" they used shows that they recognized from the bottom of their hearts that they were Han people, and they hated those who betrayed the interests of Han people, which shows that their feelings for Han people are sincere and profound, that is, Yi Ren is actually Han people?!
